Jeremiah 48:17 in context

1. 15Moab is laid waste,
   and they have gone up into his cities,
   and his chosen young men have gone down to the slaughter,”
   says the King, whose name is Yahweh of Armies.
2. 16“The calamity of Moab is near to come,
   and his affliction hurries fast.
3. 17All you who are around him, bemoan him,
   and all you who know his name; say,
   ‘How the strong staff is broken,
   the beautiful rod!’
4. 18“You daughter who dwells in Dibon,
   come down from your glory,
   and sit in thirst;
   for the destroyer of Moab has come up against you.
   He has destroyed your strongholds.
5. 19Inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way and watch.
   Ask him who flees, and her who escapes;
   say, ‘What has been done?’
